Verdict

The Hama Spirit Focused are over-ear Bluetooth 5.0 headphones featuring switchable Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and 40mm drivers delivering a frequency range of 20 Hz to 18 kHz. They offer up to 23 hours of battery life (reduced to 15 hours with ANC enabled) and can be fully recharged via USB-C in 1.5 hours. Key pros include multi-point technology for connecting two devices simultaneously, a lightweight 215g foldable design for portability, and integrated voice assistant support for Siri and Google Assistant. Cons include a lack of water resistance and a frequency response that does not reach the standard 20 kHz high-end limit found in many competitors.
